It seems like everyone but You, Slammer and I have moved out...I mean died!Because it's the Future!

Meh, the cool people stayed. I know that AJ and Ceaser and some other folks still check in occasionally. I'm still a bit star-struck that some of this sites best artists spare a second to read my comics. I mean, that is just mind blowing! People with such talent looking over my art. Believe me, it never stops surprising me.

Basically, all the people I am interested in hearing opinions from are still hovering. That's the wonderful thing about the CR community. You guys share my interest (i.e. Ace Attorney) and are awesome! I feel bad about not being able to comment here every day, but because you lot are interesting to talk to and always have amusing opinions on certain comic panels, it keeps me updating each day.

Long story short: everything is awesome

Oh and since you've said that mate, I should probably add: if somebody has major problems with the way that I run this comic, then stop complaining and go and make your own. Put some effort in rather than sulking about it. (I changed my tone in the hope of getting other comics on this forum. Let's see if it works... ;))

No chance I'll do a Sprite comic. Too much work for lazy old me.It's not like it'd be hard to do better than yours. :P

Where would this comic be without your sarcasm and wit, Oliver? haha, anyway, I better get to updating the new comic early!

Time really snuck up on me tonight.

Edit: (Oh, and joking aside: if you guys want to see a FANTASTIC sprite comic, you need to check out Francis Equatuis by Greeny. (I always spell the surname wrong, sorry.) It is somewhere in this forum: it is the comic which inspired me to come back to Ace Attorney. That guy is a genius story-teller and a damn good sprite-comic-maker. Just give it a chance! We need more folks reading that stuff. You don't forget it. After six years, the story lines are still in the back of my mind!)

The grammatical issues stem from having to craft these comics on a daily basis, despite my hectic schedule. How I've managed to do this many is a miracle!

The script writing process is this:

1- Read the pre-case script outline2- Figure out how much of the story I can tell in 12 tiny text boxes3- Write out the dialogue4- Make the graphics which are needed to accompany the dialogue5- Panic as you realise that the penned dialogue is too word for the text box6- Cut the sentence down: a process which often sacrifices grammar, but its intention is to make sure that a comic goes up before the deadline. I do the best I can.

This is not War and Peace, folks. I am not Samuel Johnson. This is just a bit of the fun which I throw up on the internet. I sacrifice a lot of time to do this and am not able to spend any more time making second and third drafts for absolutely no pay.

Thanks for being on my side about the grammatical issues not being a factor which needs focusing on It is easy for folks to sit back in their chairs and say "hmm, that sentence needs restructuring." It is difficult, however, to commit to writing, producing and doing artwork for a free daily web comic series.

I am trying to be a real as possible with you all by explaining my process, as I am sure knowing this will help future sprite comic makers on this site.

Well that case 3 description is making me really curious about this case...

Great work on case 2, btw! Though I have to admit that the culprit felt a little...bland, with how quick the final confrontation was and someting about the motive felt...off, like it wasn't explained well enough. Still, you did a good job, and I expect to see what you will do in the next cases!

Thanks man!

I was really pushed; I limited myself to a max of 70 comics, hence why a lot of the latest ones are extra long.

I was going for the shock factor: "the flash in the pan revelation" of the little old lady being the murderer, but everybody guessed it in her first scene haha

Hi guys; I initially intended to return to the comic in the New Year, but I have been working on other projects and University has been limiting my free time quite a bit. However, as a thank you for thinking about and asking about the progress of the comic, I intended to release a couple of updates today.

Unfortunately, here is the problem:

My writing process is thus:

1- I craft a general plot line for the case2- I prepare any graphics I may need for that comic3- I quickly write the dialogue for one comic panel based on what my notes say4- I splice it all together and chuck it out there.

Here is the issue: I have just opened the script for episode 3 and saw that before the Christmas season, I did not get around to fleshing out the next comic's dialogue. As a consequence, all that stands is a series of detailed notes. This just means that I will have to reread the script in the hopes of understanding what these scripts mean in context.

This is exactly why I have always insisted that anyone planning a sprite comic should script it before hand
